The Power of the Truth

It is only after a person knows the truth that he can see through the lies. It is the reason we need to make sure that our children get a good honest education. It is the reason we must read the Bible regularly and learn what God says.

Without knowing the truth a person is susceptible to deceit, lies and fraud. Consider, just how many con men would prefer that you know the truth before using his trickery to relieve you of your fortune.

It is why the dems prefer that your education be poor and that they mock Christianity. After all, how else are you going to believe the lies?

Difficult as it is to Believe

Harvard and Yale have their early roots in Christianity. Just goes to show what can happen when you permit Satan to take control little bits at a time.

I suspect many of the universities have Christian origins. You will find little trace of it today. Government influences have seen to it that residuals have been removed, oddly using the 1st amendment. Christian colleges cannot accept federal funds, including for research.

Santa Clause Is Coming to Town

It’s true. Christmas is right around the corner and the gifts will be distributed. It’s real.

However, where the song has it wrong is just who Santa Clause is. Let’s get real. The bulk of the gifts will be coming from the dems, namely Old Joe and his cohorts.

They will distribute among those too lazy to work. Some will be distributed to outfits on the dole, as Planned Parenthood. They will be distributing to government departments, such as the Department of Education, the National Endowment for the Arts, and such as the EPA.

Of course, let us not forget the money going to transportation, feeding and sheltering of the aliens. (That’s right, they really do exists and someone needs to provide for them.) Certainly, we don’t want to forget the gifts they provided to oil producing countries by cutting our production. This would include but not limited to, Russia, Iran and many wealthy Arab countries.

Yup. No bout a doubt it. Old Joe will take out his Santa suit, brush it off, put smile on, along with the suit. He will jump in his magic sleigh and make his trip world wide.

Soon, he will visit a place near you. But beware. Not only will he give the gifts, but he will also be seeking what he can. You just might want to hide that wallet of yours.

You see, the only way he can give out all the freebies is to take the money from others. Well, they can also just print it. They have proved they are willing to do that too.

Medicare Hunting Season

Every year around this time, it becomes Medicare hunting season. The TV and radio stations must love it. Every 4th or 5th advertisement is someone trying to get me to call them, in hopes that I will choose their part C Medicare. Given the price of TV and radio time, the broadcasters must be making a fortune and a half.

They used to call me at least every other day. Actually, that is a good way to anger me. It is a very poor way to try to sell me anything on my phone. I don’t pay for TV ads; I do pay for my phone. You want to use my phone for ads, start paying my phone bill.

At any rate, apparently, I figured what to say to stop them from their phone persistence. After I said hello, the young woman started into her spill. I rudely interrupted, “I am 73. What makes you think you know more about Medicare than I do?”

She immediately hung up and it has been at least a year. Not so much as one call since.

NOW. If I could just figure out something as effective on TV. I am open to suggestions. I am getting tired of that Martha woman with the big glasses acting as if she’s the expert. To me, she’s just a high paid actor, and I wonder if even the glasses are a prop.

Another Compliment

That’s right. They just keep coming. I was in the parking lot when the man approached me and told me how much he liked my car. He asked what kind. I told him Nissan, electric. Then he really became interested.

Then, I saw his car, a black Mercedes, may I add a very nice sportty looking thing. I told him that he had a nice set of wheels too. I expected him to be proud of it but he wasn’t, though he did thank me.

Whether it was his intention or not, it was a shot to my ego. I simply am not used to getting compliments on my car. It wasn’t my purpose when I bought the car. I am a very practical person. However, if people driving Mercedes want to compliment me, I’ll take.

Turn Around, There’s a Cliff Ahead!

I didn’t get all the details as I was distracted at the time. However, near as I can tell, the Disney company is starting to have problems. I would guess their movies are not doing well. I would guess they have had a drop off in park attendance. Maybe they are having trouble selling those little toys associated with the movies.

It is, as I said, a guess. I am not a business genius, but I would suspect they have what we in computers the dumb flip-flop stuck in the on condition.

They need not panic yet, though it would appear they just might be near the precipice.

My advice is simple. When you discover that you are going the wrong way, turn around and go back where you came from. They might improve things when they can tell the difference between boys and girls. They just might start improving things by going back to a true family centered corporation, sorta the way Walt Disney originally intended.

Christians, have a word for this. Repent. That is to say realize that what you are doing is wrong, stop, turn around and go back in the other direction.

Oh yes. One more thing! Bring prces back down, and I mean a bunch. I know Disney deals in fantasy land, but the rest of us must keep our feet solid on dirt, or at least most of us. Disney has done raised the price well beyond what most of us can afford.

Remember, Disneyland is an option. Food, shelter and gas are necessary.

A Pleasant Surprise

The last couple of years my wife has been finding it more difficult to tolerate the cold. This, of course, is more true as the days get colder.

She had no idea that the new Nissan had heated seats. She does now. She told me as we were on the way to eat today. As we entered the car, she shivered. Soon after settling in, she announced her new discovery along with her approval.

What Should We Think?

Suddenly, they want to bring soldiers back in that were kicked out for not taking the shot.

I simply have no idea of what to think of it.

Thing is, I would be very suspicious before I would go back in. I might even demand a comlete pardon. It is the only true way to completely erase any record of any implications of guilt. I would also insist on backpay and time in service and rank.

I would not require it if President Trump asks for me to return but Old Joe is one character I’d never trust.

Just what is their motive, anyway?

To Err is Human

There is an old saying in the world of computers, “To err is human. To really foul things up takes a computer.” This seems no more prevalent than in Memphis these days. Seems every other day, I hear a story on the local news about someone receiving an outlandish electric bill. I don’t mean a little outlandish either. I mean like 17 or 18 thousnd-dollars-outlandish.

I would say that in this case the computer really fouled things up. If I were in charge of computer operations at Memphis Light, Gas and Water, I think I’d be working on two things: changing my name and changing my occupation.

You would think they would be a little embarrassed. Not so. Not that I can tell, anyway. Gives me another reason to be glad to live south of the stateline.

Oh, and by the way. May I say thanks to the one who messed things up. I am sure he just drove the value of my house a few thousand dollars.

So, thanks. Keep up the great work.

4 Day Work Week?

Some good aspects–some bad.

Certainly, if it remains a 40 hour week, it can have some really great advantages. When you consider the time in actual transit as well as getting ready for work, it can easily save an employee up to 90 or more minutes each week. Of course, it also saves some costs, although that will not be consistent. Some drive; some take busses or subways. On the other hand, a few bicycle.

The hitch is that not all work places work with 4 day weeks. Some businesses are open 5 days a week and hence, 4 day weeks are impossible. Even then, some businesses have heavier and lighter days, which might allow some to work 4 days.

How-some-ever, the concept of 40 hours of pay for 32 hours of work…just don’t think that will work. Just don’t think I’m the only one thinking that.

That is fantasy. That is crazy. I think that even rises to the point of being crazy-nuts.
